Jack celebrating Children's Day at a local park

Quote from our friend, Andy, giver of photo and favors :0)

Michelle and Dan,Just wanted you to know that when I saw your son Jack in Pingliang he looked good. He is an obvious favorite at the orphanage, is said to be helpful with the other children, and seems to have a very sweet personality. He was a little shy and not quite sure what to make of me. But I told him through Mrs. Yang that I was a friend and knew that his mom and dad who will be coming soon, love him very much. Also, he seems to be very healthy. His cheeks are full and he is not at all overly thin.

Trish told me she emailed you all about the gift Mrs. Yang gave us for your daughter. We will send it ASAP; just send an address. The staff at the orphanage is very interested in what your family is doing for these two special children. Apparently, your daughter was something of a favorite, too. Yours is a really wonderful story.

Quote from Orphanage Assistance Coordinator ...

I am so excited to hear you are adopting him - he struck me as such a neat kid! He looks so happy and yes, seems to be always in the action taking care of the smaller babies.Congratulations on your new son and best wishes for a speedy TA!

God's Word for Us ...

Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is -- His good, pleasing and perfect will.
